I have a panasonic TU-DSB31 I have read through most of the fourm to look for clues, I tried the force update (holding backup button) tried this twice both times it looks like it's doing something but then nothing, the problem lies with the EPG I only have 2.7bb.9* but I can't seem to update it, I have a free2air card that i live and works in my old digibox (it's the wrong colour for her highness) any ideas how I can sort my problems ? many thanks in advance

Believe it when I see it Admin.

You may also try going into the services menu, then system setup, whilst in there, press the backup button on the receiver and turn off the power at the mains, keep the button pressed in and after a few seconds turn on the power, keeping the button pressed until all of the lights flash. This method apparently has more success with the older software version.

If you are connected by scart lead the warning screen should come up on the TV.

The Pana 31 seems to have a problem if updates of software are missed, the forced download does not update the old version of software, I have come across this on about 8 x Pana 31's and have been told the ony answer is to replace the eprom's which is not cost effective.

I have tried the backup button on the front a few times, I did it with the unit turned on for 30 in standby then powered off for 2 mins the powered on holding the backup button the full time, it appears to be working but then dosn't... I will try the system menu method and see what happens, I have tried phoneing $ly about it but they just want to sign me up to a second hand contract before helping me....

it just a bloody nightmare at the min, however all is not lost my sister in law is away for the week we got her box and card only downfall is the misses will now want me to subscribe after haveing it for the week

if it doesnt upgrade,the new card will not work.sometimes you have to force upgrade quite a few times,but in between power should be off for a few minutes so the voltages in the box die down and the box resets.Its very old software though,so it might never upgrade.
